I came across this photograph at a very old book shop...
I have been very obsessed by it... The card has no information about any photograph, and the photo is in very good condition... Im intrigued by the girls faces because they are a bit blurry... and sometimes they dont even look real..

scottvez, 3 years agoThat is an interesting photograph of a pair of sisters.

The image format dates from about 1910- 1925, but the subjects are much earlier.

It is a copy image of a 19th century image (1850s- 1860s). Early "hard images" (daguerreotype, ambrotype, tintype) were one of a kind images and the only way to reproduce an image was to take a photograph of the older photograph.

I collect copy images.

Thanks for sharing.

scottvez, 3 years agoI forgot to mention-- a loss of sharpness and a slight blurr is typical of copy images.
